Indonesia’s rupiah has plunged to record lows against both the US dollar and Singapore dollar, sparking market anxiety, political backlash and a flood of viral memes online. While Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has sought to reassure the public that the country’s economic fundamentals remain strong, growing concerns over inflation, purchasing power and investor confidence are raising questions about the broader health of Southeast Asia’s largest economy. So what’s really driving the rupiah’s sharp decline? How worried should ordinary Indonesians and neighbouring countries like Singapore be about the potential economic ripple effects? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Adam Samdin from the Asia Macro team at Oxford Economics to break it all down. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
La guerre en Iran entre dans sa 10e semaine et si le cessez-le-feu est toujours en vigueur, c'est toujours l'impasse sur le plan diplomatique. Conséquence, pointe le Guardian à Londres, « les marchés pétroliers sont fébriles » et le prix du pétrole n'en finit plus de grimper… Les marchés pétroliers ont été secoués par les dernières déclarations de Donald Trump, qui « semble déterminé à maintenir le blocus des ports iraniens par la marine américaine pendant plusieurs mois. » D'après le blog spécialisé, Oxford Economics, cité par le Guardian, « si la situation actuelle de blocage dans le détroit d'Ormuz se poursuit, les prix du pétrole pourraient monter jusqu'à 190 dollars d'ici le mois d'août. » Le Guardian qui cite également l'économiste Paul Krug, ancien chroniqueur du New York Times, selon lequel « une récession mondiale généralisée est plus que probable si le détroit reste fermé pendant trois mois de plus, ce qui semble tout à fait possible ». « Les craintes d'un blocus prolongé (donc) poussent les prix », constate Le Figaro à Paris. Le baril de Brent s'envole à près de 125 dollars. Les géants du pétrole : grands gagnants de la guerre… Et c'est dans ce contexte que les profits des grands pétroliers atteignent des niveaux record… On reste avec Le Figaro qui constate que « gagner beaucoup d'argent en profitant de l'envolée des prix du pétrole, consécutive à la guerre dans le golfe Persique, devient vite un sujet polémique. C'est ce qu'expérimente TotalEnergies, avec des profits qui frôlent les 5 milliards de dollars. Et toutes les "majors" du pétrole sont dans le même cas. » Résultat, pointe le journal, « l'éventualité d'une surtaxation de ces bénéfices est immédiatement revenue dans le débat public. » « TotalEnergies grand vainqueur de la guerre », s'exclame Libération. Et « la question de la taxation des superprofits du pétrole est revenue comme un boomerang. » Total va-t-il mettre la main au portefeuille ? Rien n'est moins sûr…, répond Libé. « Une taxe au niveau européen sur les superprofits du pétrole et du gaz avait été instaurée en 2022-2023 après l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie et avait rapporté 28 milliards d'euros à l'échelle de l'Union pour contribuer à un "bouclier énergétique", rappelle le journal. Mais pour l'heure, l'initiative est au point mort, constate Libération, la France, qui protège TotalEnergies ne s'y est pas associée. (…) Le gouvernement préfère pour l'heure privilégier la piste moins douloureuse pour Total consistant à encadrer les marges réalisées par les distributeurs de carburant au-delà de 1,71 euro le litre. Le décret "est prêt" a fait savoir Matignon en précisant que la question de le mettre en application n'était “pas tranchée“. » Bref, aucune aide à attendre pour l'instant pour les millions d'automobilistes qui peinent à faire le plein… Un 1er-Mai discret ? Demain 1er-Mai : va-t-on assister à une vague de mécontentement en France ? Entre la crise des carburants, le possible retour de l'inflation, la stagnation des salaires… Non, répond Le Monde : « Il y a peu de chances de voir des millions de personnes nourrir les cortèges de travailleurs, demain vendredi. (…) Le ressentiment reste encore relativement feutré » En fait, explique dans les colonnes du journal, Marylise Léon, la secrétaire générale de la CFDT, « il y a une forme d'immobilisme et d'attentisme car la campagne présidentielle va bientôt démarrer et les Français se disent qu'ils y verront plus clair. » Récemment, une étude menée par Ipsos, le Cevipof et la Fondation Jean Jaurès, toujours dans Le Monde, indiquait « un profond désir de changement, qui a progressé depuis les débuts du second quinquennat d'Emmanuel Macron. La moitié des Français estimant qu'il faut "réformer en profondeur" la société française, et un quart souhaitant la "transformer radicalement". (…) Quant à savoir dans quel sens va ce souhait de renouveau, cette étude dessine le portrait de Français soucieux, dans cet ordre de priorité, de leur système de santé, de leur pouvoir d'achat, de leurs écoles, de leur sécurité mais aussi de la dette de leur pays, de l'attractivité de son économie, de la maîtrise de l'immigration et de la place de la France dans le monde. Autant de questions, conclut Le Monde, loin des caricatures, auxquelles la campagne présidentielle devra tâcher d'apporter des réponses. »

After US President Donald Trump walked back his threats to wipe Iran off the map, there’s now a two-week ceasefire in place. Hours before this kicked in, the Singapore Government announced in Parliament on April 7 support measures to help cushion the cost increases resulting from the Middle East conflict. These include disbursing $500 in CDC vouchers half a year early and a $200 increase in the Cost-of-Living Special Payment. Six weeks into this war, the question now is: Will things get better from here, or are we just having a moment of respite before the knock-on effects continue to worsen? In this podcast episode, I chat with economists Danny Quah, Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, and Sheana Yue, a senior economist at global economic advisory firm Oxford Economics, about what else we should brace ourselves for.

Equity markets have spent the past month treating the war in Iran like a minor inconvenience — a 'buy the dip' opportunity rather than a structural crisis. But while stock traders debate whether the President will 'TACO out' of the conflict, the real story is unfolding in the commodities that never make the headlines: LNG, helium, fertilizer, and aluminium. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, Qatar's liquefaction plants in ruins, and Oxford Economics estimating the waterway will remain largely impassable until May, no Truth Social post is going to fix this. In this video, we look at why the physical damage to the region's infrastructure means the economic fallout will be felt long after the shooting stops — and why the winners and losers of this crisis are not who you'd expect.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle
I dag tittar vi närmare på den eskalerande konflikten mellan Iran, Israel och USA – en konflikt som under 2026 tagit ett språng in i öppet krig och samtidigt skakat energimarknader, sjöfart och cybersäkerhet.Martin tar hjälp av Patrik som är lite mer påläst i ämnet för att ta reda på vad som händer och hur det eventuellt kan påverka oss som vardagspreppers.Informationen i avsnittet bygger på öppet källmaterial och verifierade rapporter.

Válka v Íránu a okolí sice trvá jen pár týdnů, ale téměř jistě ovlivní světovou a samozřejmě i českou ekonomiku minimálně na mnoho měsíců dopředu. „Džin už byl vypuštěn z lahve,“ říká v podcastu Money Maker ekonom Tomáš Dvořák z londýnské poradenské společnosti Oxford Economics. Podle jeho propočtů konflikt na Blízkém východě připraví tuzemské hospodářství už letos minimálně o několik desetin procenta růstu. „Drahá ropa, jejíž cena bude klesat mnohem pomaleji, než jak vystoupala, se propíše všude,“ varuje s tím, že inflace by se mohla vyšplhat až k pěti procentům.Podle Tomáše Dvořáka, který studoval mimo jiné na univerzitě ve skotském Glasgow, je aktuální dění v okolí Hormuzského průlivu další v řadě špatných zpráv pro Evropu. „Bohužel to je symptomatické pro dobu, ve které žijeme,“ popisuje a dodává, že svět ustupuje z globalizace, jednotlivé mocenské bloky se spíše uzavírají do sebe a jedna krize následuje druhou. Zároveň to je ale podle něj další příležitost, aby se Evropa rychleji postavila na vlastní nohy a zbavila závislosti na nespolehlivých partnerech.V rozhovoru došlo ale i na to, jak moc hospodářská politika nové vlády Andreje Babiše může Česko posunout, resp. zbrzdit, v čem se můžeme inspirovat u Poláků, že obnovitelné zdroje a green deal dostávají s íránským konfliktem nový smysl nebo centrální banky čeká dilema s tím, kdy a jak začnou zase zvedat základní úrokové sazby.00:00 Začínáme02:53 Růst české ekonomiky05:54 Kam se pohnou úrokové sazby?08:34 Benzinky jako první ukazatel zdražování13:55 Závislost na nestabilních režimech18:14 Jak je na tom Evropa?29:56 Green Deal a ETS32:54 Investice do obrany36:56 Hospodářská strategie vs. programové prohlášení44:52 Časté inflační šoky47:24 „Průmysl je zase sexy.“

January 20, 2026: Oxford Economics data suggests AI-driven layoffs are still a small slice of overall job cuts, raising questions about whether AI is being used as a convenient explanation for traditional cost cutting. At the same time, Goldman Sachs warns that up to 25% of work hours could be automated—not as a job apocalypse, but as a task-level shock that exposes poorly designed roles. I also unpack new PwC research showing that most CEOs aren't seeing meaningful ROI from their AI investments yet—and why that failure has more to do with broken workflows and leadership decisions than with the technology itself. Meanwhile, a quieter but more consequential shift is happening as physical AI and robotics move rapidly into logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and other parts of the real economy. And finally, I explain why ServiceNow's partnership with OpenAI signals AI moving into the core "plumbing" of organizations—where it will force leaders to confront inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated ways of working.

China's economy demonstrated strong resilience in 2025, with growth holding firm despite mounting external pressures and internal structural adjustments, while new growth drivers are taking shape to support sustainable expansion going forward, said officials and experts.政府工作人员和专家指出,2025年中国经济展现出强劲韧性,在外部压力不断加剧和内部结构调整的双重背景下,经济增长依然保持稳健,同时新的增长动力正在形成,为未来可持续扩张提供支撑。Official data released on Monday showed that China's gross domestic product grew 5 percent last year, meeting the country's annual target of around 5 percent. The hard-won performance, achieved amid heightened tariff pressures, has laid a solid foundation for a steady start to economic growth in 2026, reinforcing confidence that the world's second-largest economy remains on a stable trajectory.官方周一公布的数据显示,中国去年国内生产总值增长5%,实现了约5%的年度增长目标。在关税压力加剧的背景下取得的这一来之不易的成绩,为2026年经济增长平稳开局奠定了坚实基础,增强了市场信心,表明这个全球第二大经济体仍保持着稳定发展态势。As China enters the opening year of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, economists said policymakers are set to press ahead with front-loaded fiscal support to boost domestic demand, alongside a moderately accommodative monetary stance aimed at lifting prices and easing financing costs.随着中国迎来第十五个五年规划(2026-2030年)的开局之年,经济学家指出,政策制定者将推进前置性财政支持以提振内需,同时采取适度宽松的货币政策立场,旨在提振物价并降低融资成本。The country's annual GDP came in at 140.19 trillion yuan ($20.13 trillion) in 2025, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Chinese economy grew 4.5 percent year-on-year, following 4.8 percent growth in the third quarter.国家统计局数据显示,2025年中国国内生产总值(GDP)达140.19万亿元(合20.13万亿美元)。2025年第四季度,中国经济同比增长4.5%,此前第三季度增速为4.8%。Kang Yi, head of the NBS, said that the latest indicators fully demonstrate the Chinese economy's steady progress, resilience under pressure, and vitality in moving toward higher-quality and innovation-driven development.国家统计局局长康义表示,最新指标充分展现了中国经济稳步前进的态势、在压力下的韧性,以及在迈向更高质量、创新驱动发展道路上的活力。"China's average annual contribution to global economic growth stood at around 30 percent throughout the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period. With a complete industrial system, China has played a stabilizing role in global supply chains and injected much-needed stability into a world economy undergoing turbulence and transformation," he said.中国在“十四五”规划(2021-2025年)期间,对全球经济增长的年均贡献率保持在30%左右。凭借完整的产业链体系,中国在全球供应链中发挥着稳定器作用,为动荡转型中的世界经济注入了急需的稳定力量。Guan Tao, global chief economist at BOCI China, said that China's economy has delivered "hard-won" results in 2025, featuring breakthroughs in technological advances and emerging consumption phenomena, setting the stage for a 2026 GDP growth target possibly at 4.5 percent to 5 percent.中银证券全球首席经济学家管涛表示,2025年中国经济取得“来之不易”的成果,技术进步实现突破性进展,消费呈现新形态,为2026年GDP增速目标设定4.5%至5%的区间奠定基础。"In 2025, when people talked about China, things like DeepSeek, Ne Zha 2, Unitree humanoid robots, the overseas expansion of innovative pharmaceuticals, and Jiangsu Football City League, or Suchao, all showed that China's economy has been full of highlights, whether in consumption recovery or technological innovation," Guan said.管涛表示:“在2025年,当人们谈论中国时,话题转向了诸如DeepSeek、《哪吒2》、宇树人形机器人、创新药出海、江苏城市足球联赛‘苏超'等新事物;焦点无论是消费复苏还是科技创新,都展现出中国经济的亮点纷呈;都无不印证着中国经济的蓬勃生机。”Citing the latest indicators, Sheana Yue, a senior economist at British think tank Oxford Economics, said that the fourth quarter's continued momentum appeared to be driven by stronger industrial activity and exports in December, which offset still weak domestic demand.英国智库牛津经济研究院高级经济学家岳喜娜援引最新指标指出,第四季度经济持续增长的动能似乎源于12月工业活动和出口的强劲表现,这抵消了国内需求依然疲软的影响。NBS data showed that China's value-added industrial output rose 5.2 percent in December, following 4.8 percent growth in November.国家统计局数据显示,中国12月工业增加值同比增长5.2%,高于11月的4.8%增速。"Our estimates suggested high-tech manufacturing, including transport equipment, electrical machinery and electronics manufacturing, continued to outperform at the end of 2025," Yue said.岳喜娜:“我们的估算显示,包括运输设备、电机和电子制造在内的高科技制造业,在2025年底仍保持着强劲增长态势。”According to the NBS, retail sales, a key indicator of consumer spending, increased 0.9 percent in December, while China's fixed-asset investment decreased 3.8 percent in 2025.据国家统计局数据显示,作为消费支出重要指标的零售额在12月增长0.9%,而2025年中国固定资产投资同比下降3.8%。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said that looking ahead to 2026, the impact of high tariffs imposed by the United States on global trade and China's exports is expected to become more pronounced, weakening the contribution of external demand to economic growth and requiring domestic demand to step in more decisively.东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示,展望2026年,美国高关税对全球贸易和中国出口的影响预计将更加显著,这将削弱外需对经济增长的贡献,需要内需更果断地接棒。"We expect that, with more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies continuing to gain strength, consumption will accelerate further in 2026, and investment will stabilize after bottoming out," he said.王青表示:“随着更积极有效的宏观经济政策持续发力,预计2026年消费将进一步加速增长,投资将在触底后趋于稳定。”With 2026 marking the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the economic policy committee of the China Association of Policy Science, said that ensuring a smooth economic start will be critical, and called for stable, consistent and moderately forceful macro policies.2026年标志着中国第十五个五年规划的开局之年。中国政策科学研究会常务理事、经济政策委员会副主任徐洪才指出,确保经济平稳开局至关重要,呼吁实施稳定、连贯且力度适中的宏观政策。Fiscal policy should remain proactive, he said, suggesting that the fiscal deficit ratio remain at around 4 percent, supported by the continued issuance of long-term treasuries to boost consumption, improve public well-being and mitigate local government debt risks. He added that monetary policy should stay moderately accommodative, with room for further cuts to interest rates and the reserve requirement ratio.徐洪才表示,财政政策应保持积极,建议财政赤字率维持在4%左右,同时继续发行长期国债以提振消费、改善民生并缓解地方政府债务风险。他还指出,货币政策应保持适度宽松,存在进一步下调利率和存款准备金率的空间。Going forward, Xu said that China's economic growth in 2026 is expected to remain within a reasonable range, with improving quality, a more optimized structure and steady progress toward high-quality development.徐洪才表示,展望未来,2026年中国经济增长预计将保持在合理区间,质量不断提升,结构持续优化,朝着高质量发展稳步迈进。Choi Yong-ho, chief executive officer and chief happiness officer of South Korean entertainment technology company Galaxy Corp, said China's market holds virtually unlimited development potential. "It is creative, innovative and dynamic, and it is already at the global forefront in multiple industries."韩国娱乐科技独角兽Galaxy Corp首席执行官兼首席幸福官崔龙湖表示,中国市场蕴藏着几乎无限的发展潜力。“这个市场充满创造力、创新精神和活力,已在多个行业处于全球领先地位。”"China's strong capabilities in robotics and artificial intelligence are leading industrial development, and its younger generation represents a highly capable and promising talent base. With these advantages, I believe the Chinese market will continue to grow, with a very optimistic outlook," he said.崔龙湖表示:“中国在机器人和人工智能领域的强大实力正引领着工业发展,其年轻一代代表着一支能力出众、充满希望的人才队伍。凭借这些优势,我相信中国市场将继续增长,前景非常乐观。”humanoid robot/ˈhjuː.mə.nɔɪd/n.人形机器人trajectory/trəˈdʒek.tɚ.i/n.轨道;态势

The new Hays Global Talent Tracker, developed by Oxford Economics, shows that Ireland's workforce ranks highly in Innovation and Participation, but that high costs and skills pipelines could impact Ireland's long-term competitiveness when compared to key European rivals. Ireland has been ranked 33rd out of 35 of some of the world's leading economies in the new tracker, reflecting a mixed picture of strong innovation capabilities, offset by significant challenges which bring its ranking down. Overall, the report places Ireland behind European competitors such as Sweden (3rd), the Netherlands (7th), the UK (18th), and Germany (15th). The Global Tracker evaluates each country across five pillars of workforce quality. The pillars examined were Talent Value, Talent Participation, Talent Development, Talent Market Flexibility and Talent Innovation. While Ireland scored rankings in the global top ten for Talent Innovation (9th) and Talent Participation (10th), these strengths were offset by poor performances elsewhere in the other pillars of the tracker. A Story of Two Halves The core opportunity Ireland has to improve is utilising its strengths to address its weaknesses, in order to further improve and invest in workforce growth. Ireland's best results in the tracker reflect a highly educated, engaged, and digitally-savvy workforce that is resilient and ready to meet the demands of a modern economy - a major asset for employers looking to establish here. However, Ireland's ranking falls sharply in the pillars of Talent Value (35th) and Talent Market Flexibility (32nd), driven by high operational costs and growing pressure on skills availability in key sectors. The findings reflect the pressures of a market nearing full employment, where rising business and wage costs present an ongoing need to enhance productivity. Similarly, the ranking for Talent Development (20th) points to the importance of continued investment in Ireland's education and training infrastructure to ensure it keeps producing the specialised skills required to fuel its world-class knowledge sectors into the future. Global Context The Hays Global Talent Tracker concludes that no country performs perfectly across all workforce dimensions, and that those at the very top also have areas for development. Even high-performing nations such as Japan, which tops the overall index, ranks lower in areas like Talent Market Flexibility (17th). This global context shows that the key is not perfection, but for each country to understand and strategically address its unique economic pressures. Barney Ely, Senior Managing Director for Ireland at Hays, said: "The new Hays Global Talent Tracker offers valuable insights for Irish business leaders, policymakers, agencies and educational institutions. Ireland continues to benefit from a highly skilled and innovative workforce, but the findings suggest there are opportunities to strengthen our position further on the global stage. "The report highlights the importance of ensuring that investment in talent aligns with value creation and underscores the need to continue developing the skills pipeline required for tomorrow. "Encouragingly, the report positions Ireland as a country with strong potential to lead through innovation, adaptability, and its commitment to education and workforce development. "At Hays, we support organisations turn insights into action by helping them build workforce strategies that enable long-term success. Our focus remains on connecting employers with talent that drives real value, ensuring Ireland remains a competitive and attractive place to do business globally."

Elke dinsdag analyseert en becommentariëert econoom, ondernemer en Trends-columnist Peter De Keyzer de belangrijkste economische vraagstukken. Vandaag hebben we het over de nakende crisis in de Europese chemiesector. Jim Ratcliffe, de top-man van Ineos, trok vorige week nog eens voor de zoveelste keer aan de alarmbel, ditmaal met een rapport van Oxford Economics. Volgens dat rapport daal de chemische productie in Europa tot het laagste niveau in tien jaar. De sector krimpt, jobs verdwijnen, en Europa dreigt zijn chemie-industrie kwijt te raken. Laten we meteen in het onderwerp duiken. Peter, kun je ons kort uitleggen wat dat rapport van Oxford Economics precies zegt, wat zijn de voornaamste bevindingen over de Belgische en Europese chemie?

The AI trade is reshaping markets and CRE is riding shotgun.A surge of capital into chips and data centers has turned AI into the backbone of U.S. growth — pushing tech spending to dot-com-era highs and doubling data center pipelines.But will it pay off? Alarm bells are ringing that adoption may not match optimism. That could quickly mean swathes of massive data centers sitting vacant.Michael Pearce, deputy chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, sees the opposite problem. On this week's episode, he said adoption curves are running much closer to forecasts.His concern: CRE can't keep up.“All the limits are on the supply side,” he said. “On the demand side it feels limitless.”

The dollar was steady in early Asian trading as US-China trade talks entered a second day, with investors focused on this week's Federal Reserve policy decision. The key question for investors this week is whether Fed officials will push back against market bets on a series of interest-rate cuts extending into next year. A quarter-point reduction is seen as a sure thing when the Fed announces its policy decision Wednesday, with a small potential for a half-point move amid signs US job growth is slowing rapidly. We break down the forces driving Fed policy with Adam Coons, Chief Investment Officer at Winthrop Capital Management.The greenback was mixed against major currencies and US equity-index futures were little changed after the benchmark S&P 500 closed flat on Friday. Asian contracts signaled declines at the open, while Japan's markets are closed for a holiday. In addition to the Fed's decision on Wednesday, the Banks of Canada, England, and Japan are also set to announce policy decisions this week. We get more perspective on the week's monetary policy decisions from Louise Loo, Lead Economist at Oxford Economics.

Economy If Canada Wasn't Taking Advantage of America, Why Did They Just Lose 40k Jobs to Trump's Tariffs? according to Reuters, Canada's economy lost 40,800 jobs in July, seemingly belying the Democrat- and establishment media-promoted narrative that Trump's tariffs would upend a trade partnership in which prosperity and fairness prevailed for both the United States and its northern neighbor. In other words, if Canadians already treated Americans fairly, then why would tariffs have a negative impact on Canada? Michael Davenport, senior economist at Oxford Economics, noted a significant reversal from June, when Canada added 83,000 jobs. “Canada's labor market snapped back to reality in July,” Davenport said. In this case, “reality” hit hard thanks to Trump's tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos. The Canadian manufacturing sector alone lost 10,000 jobs.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump posted a video in which Navarro explained how people such as Alexander Hamilton and Henry Clay have advocated for tariffs throughout the history of the United States. Navarro noted how Hamilton believed that the U.S. “needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination.” “Trumpnomics' goal is not only to reduce America's trade deficit, it is to defend American workers and factories against unfair trade practices, while encouraging trillions of dollars in investment in new American plant and equipment,” Navarro says. “The policy is working for America, and no one should be surprised by this.” Navarro continued to explain how Alexander Hamilton was the “original architect of American economic nationalism.” “In his report on manufacturers, Hamilton laid it out clearly,” Navarro continued. “United States needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination, and to secure true independence — not just politically, but economically. Hamilton knew that if America relied on foreign powers for manufactured goods, it would always be vulnerable.” “Decades later, Henry Clay carried Hamilton's vision forward,” Navarro continued.

Financial institutions are losing an average of $100 million annually due to a fundamental disconnect between fintech innovation and traditional financial systems. A phenomenon FIS and Oxford Economics have termed the "Harmony Gap." "We hear a lot from people about the challenges and friction they see in the money lifecycle," explains FIS CTO, Firdaus Bhathena, at his firm's Emerald Conference at the end of May in Orlando, Florida.. "But we had not been able to quantify that." His firm's collaboration with Oxford Economics is changing that, providing hard data on what many suspected but couldn't measure. The new research, based on surveys of 1,000 executives across the US, UK, and Singapore, reveals that disharmony in the financial system is a costly reality affecting everything from cybersecurity to operational efficiency. As Margaux McLoughlin of Oxford Economics puts it, "When there are disruptions across the money lifecycle, that's what we call disharmony." Understanding what the research describes as a Harmony Gap requires examining how the modern financial ecosystem operates, why the human cost extends far beyond corporate losses, and what organizations can do to bridge the disconnect between innovation and implementation. The path forward requires a rethinking of how financial institutions approach systemic challenges in an interconnected world.

Global markets, including the US, have been quietly calm, although there have been warning signs of looming risks and uncertainty after Donald Trump's “liberation day” tariffs announcement. What's behind such market “silence”? Roger Hearing hears from Gillian Tett, the chair of the Editorial Board of the Financial Times and the Provost of Kings College Cambridge, who has been writing about this. And how are businesses navigating global sourcing and supply chain risks and disruptions? A Global Sourcing Risk Index, produced by Proxima and Oxford Economics, shows how much business leaders still need to do. Also, a group of economists, backed by the Vatican, are calling for a reshaping of the international financial system to help developing countries that are heavily in debt and struggling to finance important social issues in their countries like healthcare and education.Throughout the programme, Roger Hearing will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world: Tony Nash, CEO and founder of Complete Intelligence, an AI-based financial forecasting firm in Houston; and Nga Pham, a journalist based in Taiwan.

The green new scam had the opposite effect. The EU economy would not be able to withstand the tariffs Trump was placing on them, they have folded.

The [DS] is in a deep panic, their entire system is being dismantled, first Trump exposed and shutdown their money supply, then Trump removed their security clearance, now Trump has dismantled their intelligence nerve center, the [DS] no longer has operational control, the patriots do.

Economy Green Agenda Has Cost British Households £220 Billion Since 2006: Study British consumers have paid nearly £220 billion more on their energy prices over the past two decades as a result of Westminster's radical green agenda schemes, a report from a leading energy consultancy firm has found. “That renewables are not cheap should be clear, based both on the evidence that after 35 years of subsidies, we are yet to see any benefits through lower bills,” the report found. Source: breitbart.com Tensions rise again between the EU and the US over trade. Donald Trump's latest threat to impose a 50 percent tariff on all imports from the 27-nation bloc has sent shockwaves through Europe. Experts warn that 50% tariffs could trigger an economic collapse on the scale of the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Across the EU, citizens already grappling with a cost-of-living crisis have been reacting with alarm to Donald Trump's threat. Canada Caved and Begged Trump for Peace, And Somehow the Entire World Missed It If you did not hear about one of President Donald Trump's latest tariff-related victories last week, you have company. It escaped our attention, too. Of course, the global establishment has enriched itself on the current system of “free trade.” So you must look closely to find positive reporting from the establishment media on the effects of Trump's tariffs. According to Bloomberg, the economic advisory firm Oxford Economics calculated last week that the new Canadian government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly adopted a conciliatory approach in the wake of Trump's aggressive tariff policies, resulting in a minuscule tariff increase of “nearly zero” on most U.S. products entering Canada. Tony Stillo, Oxford's director of Canada economics, explained. “It's a very strategic approach from a new prime minister to really say, ‘We're not going to have a retaliation,'” Stillo said in an interview. “It's a strategic play on the government's part to not damage the Canadian economy.” In March, the Canadian government retaliated against Trump's tariffs by imposing its own 25 percent import taxes. Those taxes affected roughly $43 billion worth of American-made imports. Then, another round of Canadian tariffs hit U.S.-made autos in April. A series of exemptions from Carney's government, however, have effectively reduced those tariff increases to “nearly zero.” And that represents a significant victory for Trump. Is Trump's “tariffs to get them to the table” strategy working?

A domestic rice shortage in Japan has caused supermarket shelves to empty and prices to double. Rice is more than a staple food in Japan—it carries deep cultural, historical and even spiritual significance. The rice crisis highlights broader weaknesses in Japan's economy. Japan imports over half of its food and has experienced persistent inflation. The country's economic resilience is being tested by supply chain pressures, demographic shifts, and increased trade tensions.Efforts to address the shortage have focused on auctioning rice reserves, but underlying economic challenges persist.Contributors: • Yi-Chun Ko, Professor, Asian Growth Research Institute, Fukuoka, Japan • Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney, William F.

Our guest on this week's episode is Hamilton Galloway, head of U.S. consultancy at Oxford Economics. Many of our listeners use forklifts in their supply chain operations every day. They really are the workhorses for moving products within facilities. But you might be surprised at the impact that the forklift industry makes on the overall U.S. economy. Recently the Industrial Truck Association, the industry organization that represents the forklift industry, partnered with Oxford Economics to evaluate those economic impacts. We share the remarkable numbers of the industry's contributions to GDP, jobs, taxes, and more.Logistics companies are taking a hard look at how artificial intelligence can help their operations. This week you saw how AI is having an effect on overworked logistics employees. Are those effects good or bad? A new survey of more than 300 supply chain decision makers found that companies are prioritizing technology investments, compliance, and outsourced services to optimize their supply chains and adapt to changing regulations—specifically as they navigate today's evolving trade and tariffs landscape. We share some of the interesting findings.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

A livello nazionale, europeo e internazionale, sul fronte sostenibilità sembra tirare una brutta aria. L avvio dell amministrazione Trump è stato una doccia fredda per chi sperava che una serie di valori possa ispirare e guidare le scelte politico-economiche globali. E se da una parte c è una fetta della società che difende i principi dell Agenda 2030, dall altra si susseguono gli attacchi frontali alla transizione ecologica, le politiche internazionali aggressive, i dazi, le fake news. Alla luce del panorama politico attuale quali scelte possiamo compiere? È questa la domanda a cui ha provato a rispondere il Rapporto di Primavera dell'ASviS Scenari per l Italia al 2035 e al 2050. Il falso dilemma tra competitività e sostenibilità, presentato il 7 maggio in occasione dell'evento di apertura del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile 2025.Il documento, giunto alla sua seconda edizione, offre un quadro sintetico di quello che sta accadendo a livello globale, europeo e nazionale nel settore della sostenibilità. L'ASviS, in collaborazione con il centro di ricerca Oxford Economics, ha elaborato quattro scenari al 2035 e 2050 per studiare l'impatto della transizione energetica sull'economia italiana, in particolare a livello industriale.Dal Rapporto emerge subito un dato molto chiaro: la sostenibilità conviene, anche sul piano economico. La scelta per la decarbonizzazione e per l'economia circolare offre al nostro Paese un novero di opportunità, tra cui: maggiore autonomia e costi più bassi dell'energia; elevata competitività (indispensabile anche per reagire ai dazi e alle guerre commerciali), redditività e solidità finanziaria delle imprese; maggiore sviluppo ed equità sociale; miglioramento dello stato della finanza pubblica. La falsa contrapposizione tra sostenibilità e competitività sarebbe dunque frutto più di narrazioni faziose che dell'effettivo stato delle cose: le aziende italiane che hanno scelto di investire sulla transizione ecologica e digitale hanno aumentato la produttività, migliorato le condizioni finanziarie, ridotto il costo dei nuovi investimenti. I benefici si vedono soprattutto nel settore manifatturiero, centrale per l'economia italiana: secondo l'Istat, ad un aumento dell'indice di sostenibilità ambientale corrisponde un premio di produttività che varia fra il 5% e l 8%, mentre una recente indagine condotta da Cassa Depositi e Prestiti mostra come le pratiche di economia circolare abbiano generato risparmi superiori a 16 miliardi di euro nei costi di produzione delle imprese manifatturiere. Dal punto di vista economico-finanziario, le aziende circolari mostrano anche una maggiore capacità di coprire i costi del debito grazie a risultati finanziari migliori, che consentono di aumentare gli investimenti e ridurre il livello di indebitamento. Ne parliamo con Enrico Giovannini, direttore scientifico dell'ASviS (Alleanza italiana per lo sviluppo sostenibile).

We've been sold this idea that work and life are two separate things—one to survive, the other to enjoy. But here's the truth: It's all just life. The best workplaces don't force people to "balance" their time between stress and fulfillment. They create cultures where work itself is a source of purpose, growth, and well-being.That's exactly what Teresa Roche, Chair of the Learning Innovation Laboratory at Harvard and CHRO at the City of Fort Collins, has helped build—an adaptive and well-being-driven organization where people don't just work, they flourish. Teresa Roche is a transformational HR leader with expertise in building well-being-driven workplaces. As CHRO of the City of Fort Collins, she has led innovative talent strategies, inclusion initiatives, and the Future of Work, shaping a culture where people and performance thrive. Previously, she drove leadership development at Agilent Technologies, ensuring 90% of senior roles were filled internally. In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Teresa Roche explore how leaders can start designing purposeful workplaces that fuel both performance and well-being.Things you will learn in this episode:• The myth of work-life balance• The importance of building a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being• Why well-being must be an organizational priority• Why organizations need to make the systemic shift to promote wellness• The ROI of creating flourishing organizations• The role of leaders in driving a flourishing cultureThe system needs to change!
